Meet Barry, A Gloster Canary With A Fabulous Bowl Cut (10 Photos)

When we think of a bird having a crest, we usually imagine feathers raising like a fan from their heads, like a cockateel or parrot. But one new viral bird on the block is showing off a very different crest in the form of a groovy bowl cut. Barry is a canary, which is a popular pet, but he's a very special kind of canary.

Canaries breed easily and readily if provided with quality food, lighting, secure surroundings, and conditioning. They are best bred in breeding cages. Breeding the Gloster Canary is no different than breeding colorbreds or any other variety of canary... with one exception, Glosters should only be bred corona to consort (see description above). Other pairings could create a lethal factor and there have also been reports of bald headed birds and poor crests. They lay their eggs in a nest. The female will lay 3 to 6 eggs, one per day. Breeding season is usually from December to April; it is best to allow a hen to have only two clutches.
